People Places Lives work with individuals and families across the UK to make Direct Payments easy.
We work alongside people who receive social care funding, NHS funding, or both, to help them meet their care needs in the way that works best for them.
Our service offers personalised support to plan and manage your own care. From handling the money to recruiting a personal assistant, our team help you take control, setting out all the options available and finding solutions that suit your exact circumstances.
Our approach is unique in this sector: it is person-led and tech-enabled, with an all-encompassing, wrap-around support service.
Managing a direct payment shouldn't feel like a second job. We make it simple, so you can focus on the what's important to you:
Everything in one place, on any device. Virtual Wallet keeps your account and payments together, accessible from your PC, tablet or phone.
Find and manage your PAs. Recruit personal assistants, approve timesheets, and pay wages, without all the paperwork.
Family can help too. Linked accounts let people you trust manage things on your behalf, whenever you need them to.
Support that's straightforward. Plain-language guidance and real people to talk to, from your first direct payment onwards.
